Hide And Seek Horror Game, Dark Rain, Joins Steam's Greenlight

We've had a plethora of new horror-survival games popping up in the indie scene. It's great for PC gamers because there's been so many games out there exploring the psychological terror of hide-and-seek horror, which is the theme of the new game from Instant Gaming. Dark Rain throws players into an open-world sandbox environment where creatures roam the night and finding a good hiding place is key for surviving.

The game is set during 1644 and you wake up in a European countryside looking for signs of life. There are animals a plenty and monster abound, but you're not Gordon Freeman so using your wits to stay alive will be slightly more difficult than in typical first-person games. Check out a brief look at the gameplay below.

Right now the game is still heavy in development so it's a bit difficult to tell exactly how well the game will scale for a long-term experience. Running and hiding from vicious monsters seems interesting if the game takes on a realistic, atmospheric approach, but it would also be cool if you could at least pick up a stick or something and take a swap at whatever is chasing you. Otherwise, standing there like a dofus while monsters try to murder you seems kind of dumb.

Still, if you'd like to see more open-world, sandbox horror games on Steam's store be sure to visit the official Greenlight page and pass an upvote the way of Dark Rain.
